Money Bags

Underground Boom Bap is a subgenre of hip hop that strictly adheres to the production and lyrical aesthetics of the East Coast's 'Golden Age' (late 80s to mid-90s), operating independently of mainstream commercial trends. Musically, it is defined by hard-hitting, acoustic-sounding drum breaks (specifically the kick-snare pattern), heavy usage of soul, jazz, and funk samples, and gritty, lo-fi textures. Lyrically, it emphasizes complex rhyme schemes, storytelling, social commentary, and 'street' authenticity, often rejecting the polished sounds of pop-rap or the triplet flows of trap.
